Returning Student Admission Process

Returning Student Applicants

Former DePaul undergraduate students originally admitted into an undergraduate degree or baccalaureate program must complete a returning student application if either of these conditions exist:

1. Absence from DePaul for three or more consecutive quarters, excluding summer sessions.

2. Academic dismissal from DePaul. A dismissed student can be considered for returning admission after a period of two quarters, excluding summer sessions. Please note that a dismissed student with serious deficiency may be required to demonstrate acceptable academic achievement at another accredited college or university before returning admission is approved. Courses to be taken elsewhere must be approved by the College office and a grade of C or better must be earned in all such coursework.

A dis​missed student must apply to their previous college. Once admitted a student can apply for Inter-College Transfer.

Application Deadlines

Early application is encouraged for all students. Applications submitted after the deadline will be considered for a future term.

Transcript of Transfer Work

Applicants who have attended another academic institution since last enrolled at DePaul must have official transcripts sent directly from each institution to the address shown below. These transcripts must be received by the deadline dates. For students who have completed transfer work, such official transcripts will form part of the application for returning student admission.

Address for submitting official transcript(s):
